Nikon P950 vs Nikon D200

Here, we will be reviewing the Nikon P950 versus Nikon D200, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Advanced DSLR and they are both built by Nikon. There is a large difference between the resolutions of the P950 (16MP) and D200 (10MP) and the P950 (1/2.3") and D200 (APS-C) provide different sensor sizes.

The P950 was brought out 14 years later than the D200 and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Nikon P950 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Nikon D200 being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before we go into a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the P950 grades against the D200 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Coolpix P950 & Nikon D200. The entire galleries are available at Nikon P950 Gallery & Nikon D200 Gallery.

If you are planning to lug around your camera, you're going to have to factor its weight and dimensions. The Nikon P950 has got physical dimensions of 140mm x 110mm x 150mm (5.5" x 4.3" x 5.9") along with a weight of 1005 grams (2.22 lbs) while the Nikon D200 has dimensions of 147mm x 113mm x 74mm (5.8" x 4.4" x 2.9") accompanied by a weight of 920 grams (2.03 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you are utilising at that time. Underneath is a front view proportions comparison of the P950 against the D200.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the P950 and D200 is 52 and 55 respectively.

In many cases, it's difficult to imagine the gap between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The graphic here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the P950 and D200.

Plainly, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The P950 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon P950 will give greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The younger P950 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
